Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 491

"That's right, Queenie. You should eat more. Look at how sick you are. You need to eat more if you want to recover sooner. Once you're healed, we'll go shopping together!"

I snuggled up to Queenie's side, but she grabbed my noggin and pushed me away. "Stay away from me. I don't need you to remind me of how single I am."

Colin and I looked at each other before rubbing the tip of our noses. It wasn't a huge reaction, but we did it simultaneously, showcasing how synchronized we were.

Andrew and Queenie noticed our unanimity and laughed out loud, especially Queenie. She was sick, yet she cackled the loudest.

Abashed, I playfully raised my fist to threaten her. Andrew was very protective of Queenie, so he immediately put down his cutlery to shield Queenie. Colin sat silently as we played and bantered among ourselves. However, his eyes were smiling too.

He ruffled my hair affectionately and gave me another generous portion of food, asking me to eat well.

Having not seen each other for a few days, he doted on me like never before.

I looked at Jasmine from the corners of my eyes. Her sidekicks were wolfing down food like two starving soldiers. Meanwhile, Jasmine grabbed her cutlery tightly, her expression as sour as a green apple.

"You're sick too, Queenie. What happened?" asked Jasmine, unwilling to be left out.

What was wrong with her? She was in my apartment. Who gave her the confidence to keep provoking us again and again? Didn't she know that she was outnumbered? Was she dumb?

Queenie's expression darkened. But before she could speak, I grabbed her hand to stop her. She had protected me just now. It was my turn to come to her defense.

"Oh, nothing much. A stray dog bit her. Thankfully, she got her rabies vaccine from the hospital. Her wounds still hurt, but she'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Andrew laughed heartily. Somehow, calling Flynn a stray dog made him very happy.

Queenie kept talking, leaving me no room to chime in. I could only focus on eating.

But that was the fearless and protective Queenie I knew. She would do anything to protect those she held dear. She was a loyal friend.

After the meal, it was already dark. Andrew sent Queenie to her room after she performed the role of my guardian during the meal. Jasmine, too, said she was weary and asked Colin to send her to a hotel.

As she spoke, she made sure that she looked extra tired. Her right hand casually patted the legs under the blanket.

"My bad. I'll bring you to the hotel now. Babe, can you go tidy up? We'll go together."

Jasmine's eyes lit up when she heard the first half of the sentence. But the second half immediately took out the sparkle, leaving a bottomless abyss in her eyes.
